CR With Me | November 2015

[ironwood]

hey! it's time for a cr with me meme! Welcome to the bi-monthly edition of the CR Meme! It's been nearly a year since the Foreigners have returned to Keeliai! For players who've joined us since our last meme, these ~bimonthly memes are our opportunity to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're interested in for your characters in coming months. Because of this, we do ask that you be as specific as you can when replying to this meme! 'Our characters should team up to moon Tu Yunxu' is more useful than 'omg tag me.' We have two helpful sections titled "Current Status" for a summary of what your character's been up to, and "CR Goals" for the plotting and discussion of gaps in your character's CR spectrum that you would like to fill! We've also got a section for indicating what kinds of CR you're especially looking for, as well as types of threads you're not interested in. This round, we have a special section called TURTLE MOVERS, specifically for how characters are, or would like to, participate in the plan to move Asti to shallower waters and anchor him. More information can be found in the OOC posts HERE and HERE. --- CR With Me Form: <div style="font-family: Impact;font-size: 30px;color: #bf0206;padding-top: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;">PLAYER NAME HERE</div> <font face="georgia"><b>CHARACTER:</font></b> Name / <user name=""> <b><font face="georgia">CANON:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">CURRENT STATUS:</font></b> Optionally, you can give a quick rundown of what your character's been up to in the game and their short-term goals. <b><font face="georgia">CR GOALS:</font></b> What's your dream CR to obtain this month?

Are you a prose sort of person or action spam all the way? Do you prefer network interactions to face-to-face?

Do you absolutely hate writing negative CR? Would you sooner chuck you laptop out a window before you write one more slice-of-life thread? All those considerations can go here. <b><font face="georgia">ADDITIONAL:</font></b> Anything else you might want to add that doesn't fit into the above goes here.

I've been meaning to follow up on Tonks and Solomon's first conversation but I think the last time I tried was at a bad time for you; would you like to try again?

Sol actually runs a PI-ish service on the side, to pay for his research--mostly looking for missings persons because they're the easiest for him to find with his magic (ie just look for the dead people and see whether they're one of them). Having someone around with more varied magic skills would mean he could branch out a bit, so maybe he and Tonks can team up on a case or something, see how they work together?

[deadclumsy]

I think the PI business would be a good idea, but she'd need something steady, so it depends on how often he gets work and passes it along to her? I'd definitely like to try them working together on a case.

[peacefullywreathed]

Pretty regularly--most law in Keeliai is upheld by the Snakes, so investigation services aren't very common and there's a large niche to fill. There are some kinds of cases Sol just can't take because he can't see, so someone he can refer the kedan to should net Tonks quite a bit of work until she's better-established to find her own. Skulduggery will just have to deal with sharing.

Regardless, how would you like to kick off? In the middle of a case might the best way, since it cuts right to the chase and makes it less likely Sol being a creeper in their first conversation will be an issue.

[deadclumsy]

To clarify, you'd like to handwave them having talked about it beforehand? I'm cool with it, just making sure that we're going straight to them working together. :>

[peacefullywreathed]

Oops, no, sorry--I was thinking more them coming at the same case from opposite directions and getting thrown together by accident out of necessity. Tonks doesn't necessarily need to be hired before trying to check up on a weird thing, and Sol would be able to see how she handles right off, so it reduces the need for either of them to be convinced.

[deadclumsy]

Ahhh, yeah, I get you! Yeah, that sounds like a fair plan to me. I don't have much of a handle on the NPC goings-on in game, but I imagine a vanished woman or something would pique her interest enough to go out and investigate if someone mentioned it to her. Yes, let's do that.

[peacefullywreathed]

Excellent! Sol doesn't do much with the major NPC families anyways, its just the dearth of civil investigation that works in his favour. XD I can start a log for it, and we just keep those shenanigans in there, how's that sound?

[deadclumsy]

That sounds great! Thank you! :D

[peacefullywreathed]

Here you go, sorry that was delayed. Let me know if you need anything more, but I figure we can just make things up as we went. XD

[deadclumsy]

Sorry for the delay! I'm on it now!
